How does the largest animal on the planet seemingly disappear for extended periods of time?

Apparently, we still don’t know where Blue whales go to breed. How is this possible with all our modern technology? We have satellites, GPS, trackers, sensors, submarines, and deepsea drones, yet hundreds of 300,000-pound mammals just disappear every year? Someone tie a string to the damn thing!

When Malaysia Airways flight MH370 disappeared, many people were asking the exact same question you are, using many of the same words and phrases, but substituting ‘airplane’ for ‘whale’. The oceans are pretty vast…and that’s just the surface area, whales can dive into the deeps.
